    CD Burners

    Can anybody recommend a good free CD Burner. The Roxio thing that came with my new Windows is a confusing difficult piece of rubbish. On my previous Windows 7, Roxio was a breeze but now I am all confused. I know my 74 year old brain is not as sharp as a 12 year old's brain, and if that sounds...
